Custom/Change hero portraits in HoMM III HD remake?

Hey guys, just recently got Homm 3 HD remake on steam and was wondering if there is any way to change the hero portaits in this version?

Found a great way to do it in original thanks to this user post (below) and would be great if there was a way to do it even in this one. Have tried doing it similair to this but the files and folders aren't the same and doesn't seem to be working.

Ste said:

To customize the portraits you must have Shadow of Death or Armageddon's Blade.
put them in *heroes3 folder*data
The name for the large portrait will be Hpl###xx.pcx where ### is a 3-digit code for the specific hero and xx is a two-digit code for the hero type.
The name for the small portrait will be Hps###xx.pcx.

You can replace any portrait with any new portrait. So you could replace a knight picture with a picture of a necromancer if you desire. It's up to you.

The hero code and number range is:
sh = special heroes (000-008)
el = elementalist (000-007)
pl = planwalker (000-007)
kn = knight (000-007)
cl = cleric (008-015)
rn = ranger (016-023)
dr = druid (024-031)
al = alchemist (032-039)
hr = demoniac (056-063)
dm = heretic(048-055)<!--- be carreful, 3DO inversed
nc = necromancer (072-079)
ov = overlord (080-087)
wl = warlock (088-095)
br = barbarian (096-103)
bm = battlemage (104-111)
bs = beastmaster (112-119)
wh = witch (120-127)
?? = more special heroes (128-132)

The help page showing you exactly which hero has which number or you can just experiment yourself.

Examples:
To replace the 3rd necromancer hero portrait with a new one, name the two pcx files: Hpl075nc.pcx  and Hps075nc.pcx.

These new files will sit in your data directory and can be removed, renamed or changed at any time.
